.. are you sure? This is the same Hollywood that's been editing cigarettes out of movies? Could you cite an example scene?

??? Are you for real? Just google "stoner movies".

Off top of my head: The Pineapple Express, This is the End, Harold and Kumar go to the White Castle, Jay and Silent Bob strike back.

Weed (now legal in several states and not related to overdose deaths) is a different prospect to opiates, though.

You can argue that weed is legal because of sustained Hollywood propaganda.

I'm not sure stoner movies are equivocal to increasing broader drug use generally.

Studies show that legal marijuana is associated with decreasing opiate prescriptions
